Chapter 7:The Time has Come again

*4 month timeskip*

Marco pov

Its been a while since I last been to the hospital. And ever since then, I haven't seen Kira at all. Sometimes at the mafia meetings, Itami does talk about her every now & then. Back when I first got out of the hospital, I though that Kira was hiding something, but in the end, Itami & I never really found out what Kira was hiding...but after a while, I just simply dismissed what happened, and carried on with my life.

'Now that I think about it, I think I am due for my check up soon, yoi.'

I heard a knock on my door, which was followed by Victoria walking inside the room. She trudged herself over to my bed, and laid down on it, letting out a loud groan, "Kill me..." she growled. I shook my head, "That goes against the Human rights, yoi," I quip. She threw a pillow at me, "Shut up...stop saying big sentences.." Victoria whined. "Come on, what are you even doing here, yoi?" I sigh. She stared at the ceiling, "Because I like annoying you." She states, poking my face. My eyebrows twitched, "Well you're certainly doing a good job at it, yoi." I grumble, before pushing her off the bed, "Leave, you need to go to school, yoi." I yanwed. Victoria pouted angrily up at me, before leaving sulkily.

When I eventually got out of bed, Victoria had already left for school, leaving me home alone...again. I push my hair back as I go through the kitchen, looking for something to eat for breakfast. Eventually, I settle on some imported Oreo cereal from Korea. Victoria egged me on to get it, so I got it for us (see that I didn't say her, I said us. I make sure that we share the box).

'That kid loves Oreos too much. No wonder why she didn't grow up to be tall.'

Once I had breakfast, and cleaned myself up, I decided to just go to the hospital, so that I can have my check up. When I got there, they told me to just wait in the seating area, where a lot of different people sat. As I sat there, I found myself looking around. I didn't really know what I was looking around for, but I knew that it was something...I just haven't figured it out yet.

Then, I hear the double doors open. I spot her. She hasn't changed at all...she still had shiny wavy blond hair. She still had pretty red eyes and her glasses...there was just one exception. Kira had some bruises on her face, some of them still healing. She spotted me, and I watched as she put on a smile that looked...sad & relieved? "Mr Marco, we're ready for you." Kira called. Unsure of what to do, I stand, and follow her. She was leading me to her office. As we walked there, I noticed just how short she was. She was probably 5'4 while I stood at 6'1.

(A/N:Thats not Marco's height, it didn't say on the wiki, and I figured that he'd be a little taller than Ace)

Eventually, we arrive. The office was white..a boring white, whole her desk was black. She had a lot of red decor & stationary. She had a black comfy looking office chair that held a long red coat. To the side, there was a spare bed, and some other doctoring stuff that I never knew the name of. Kira gestured to the bed, "Please, take a seat." I did as I was told, as Kira shut her door & her blinds. Once she did that, she looked over to me. "Right...lets start."

Kira made me take off my shoes so that she can work with me easier. I watched as she did all these things to check if my leg was okay. She stretched, pulled, pushed & did the little hammer test on my knee. She then put me under a x-ray. "Well from what I can tell, your leg right here seems to be in perfect condition." Kira states. I smile, "Thats a relief, yoi." Kira nods, "It sure is."

'I really think I should say something, yoi. I..need to.'

"Kira?" I called. She looked at me, "Yes?" "Are you...okay? You have bruises-" Kira sighed, "I knew you'd ask that eventually." She told up straight, "Do I look fine?" She asked. I shook my head, "You really don't, yoi." I answered. "Then thats it. I'm not fine." Kira mumbled. "Thats not fair, yoi. You have to tell me more than that."

"Why do you even care, huh? I'm just a doctor! You've never seen me before, and you just...just...do this?! Marco, I'm not important!" Kira hissed. "I care because I chose to care about you, yoi. Sure you may only be my doctor, but it doesn't mean that I can't ask whats wrong, yoi!" I snapped. She grit her teeth, "Trust me, Marco...I am keeping you safe from...him." Kira stated.

'Him? Who's him?'

"Who's him?" I asked. Kira narrowed her eyes as she pushed me out to the waiting area, "Someone that will kill you."
